STERILIZING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 24, 1907. v

Application filed March 16, 1906. Serial No. 306,414.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL JUNKER, fabrikant, and a resident of Karlsruhe,in the Grand Duchy of Baden, German Empire, Sophienstrasse 107 /iii haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Sterilizing Apparatus, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to a sterilizing apparatus for physicians.

It is especially adapted to be easily mounted and i to be dismounted andpacked into a small parcel.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a section, Fig. 2 an end viewof the apparatus.

E is an open boiler with inclined walls 9 and of triangular crosssection for reception of water and the instruments to be sterilized.

'i are twosupports, placed on a gas pipe F and properly shaped toreceive the tub E. The supports i are fixed to the pipe F by set screwsh, after they have been placed on the table or other supporting plate.The pipe F is provided with burner holes f and a nipple n to beconnected with a rubber tube furnishing the gas. I

k is a slotted pipe enveloping tightly the pipe F. By turning this pipe10 a part of the burner holes f may be closed in case a boiler of lesslength than the line of holes f is used. I

a is a wire net frame, consisting of two parts connected to each otherby a hinge b. This wire net serves to support the surgical instruments.The frame this third day of March 1906.

is put into the boiler and folds together and is held by the chains 0.These chains are linked to ears provided at the ends of the pin of thehinge b and suspended at the pins d asshown in Fig. 1. The sterilizationbeing finished the frame is lifted and stretched by suspending it atlinks of the chains 0, neighboring the hinge b.

p is a curved outlet pipe for the purpose of letting out the water bylifting the boiler a little at the handle 19, the pipe p acting as asiphon. This action may be interrupted by taking the tightly fitting pin7 out of an air hole in the pipe p.

In packing up the apparatus the gas pipe F, the supports 71 and theframe a are placed into the boiler.

Now what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is thefollowing:

1. In a sterilizing apparatus the combination of a tub of triangularsection with a foldable wire net, chains fixed to the said wire net andpins fixed to the tub and adapted to receive the links of the saidchains substantially as described.

2. In a sterilizer, the combination of a boiler, a foldable wire net,chains secured to the wire net, and holding means on the boiler, adaptedfor engagement with the links of said chains substantially as described.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name in presence of two witnesses,

CARL JUNKER. Witnesses:

HANS HOLL.
